The Blair Wealth Project: Antecedents and Prospects

Discusses the macroeconomic and political situation in the United Kingdom from the end of World War II through 2001. Focuses on the interactions among macroeconomic performance, labor relations, the corporate governance system, and social services. In particular, compares and contrasts the policies (and their implications) adopted by successive government administrations, from the postwar Clement Attlee Labour government to the administration of Conservative Margaret Thatcher and finally to Tony Blair and "New Labour."
